Southampton, PA — CW Industries, a manufacturer of switches, connectors and custom components for the OEM, has developed a custom backlit 16-position rotary encoder with a 4-channel hex output for military and commercial channel select applications.

These switches are compact, have multiple positions and are customized to fit easily into an existing panel opening — as small as 12mm. The designs also have durable enclosed construction that prevents EMI, and they are sealed to protect against environmental ingress.

Easily mounted onto a PCB, the switch allows multiple functions and output codes with its single shaft. The product conserves panel space without compromising performance and every project is produced to the special specifications to meet customer with low minimum order requirements.
